A contiguous stretch of land in eastern India, spanning U.P, Bihar, Jharkhand and southern portion of West Bengal, is reeling under a severe rainfall deficiency. The deficiency ranges from in west U.P, Bihar, Jharkhand and south to the best Bengal. In east U.P, the deficiency is 72%, according to IMD data on the southwest monsoon covering the period June 1 to July 20. This is bound to have a negative effect on the paddy output this year as West Bengal and U.P are the states with the largest paddy output in India. At the national level, however, the rainfall deficiency in these states may not have a meaningful impact on food security. India food security is supported by the PDS network which covers a population of about 800 million. The supply of rice and wheat in the PDS is secured by crop to procurement operations carried out by Food Corporation of India and multiple state government agencies. In the case of rice, it is Punjab, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Odisha which contribute most to the procurement operations. Between these states, about 55% of paddy procurement is Police has the full discretion to not register FIRs if they deem the complaint to be frivolous police bosses must send the message down the line.
